Brandon Moreno gave fight fans exactly what they expected from the former flyweight champion. As many doubted the fighter due to his recent performances, the ‘Assassin Baby’ proved that he still has a lot to give as a top fighter. At UFC Edmonton, Moreno put forward a dominant performance to win against opponent Amir Albazi.
Going into the fight, Albazi wanted to continue his undefeated UFC record with a win over the flyweight warrior. At one point, he even took a leave of absence from the sport. On the other hand, Moreno desperately wanted to bounce back from consecutive split decision losses. The Mexican did exactly that and won the fight via unanimous decision.
Both fighters kept striking each other from a distance in the early rounds, mixing it up with punches and kicks. After struggling on the feet, Albazi tried to take it to the ground but was stopped effectively by the former champion. As the fight went deeper, Moreno connected way more than his opponent and was able to deal some significant damage.

It was a classic example of Moreno’s incredible fighting ability inside the octagon, which was absent in his last few fights. However, it seems like the former champion is back and eager to regain his lost glory.
